SOME STRANGE CONFESSIONS.
Several Good Stories Which cnnvey
Very Needful Morals.

The Rochester III W Union re-
ports having this dialogue With an
eminent physician:
Can you cure oald for me?
/ dare say; where Is it?
Do you treat youSself for coldsp
That depends on bow bad they ere
/ had one last week and fixed myself
up dose, but / didR't dare take it
l kept il over night and gave it to a
deadhead patient the next day
Then you don't dare take year
own medicine?
No! I don't dare, aad have no
family physician.
A gentleman, short time ago,
consulted his physician about a
severe rheumatic attack As he was
leaving the doctor said:
Should nay prescription afford any
relief, let me know it az Z am suffer
ing from an affection similar to yours
and for the last twenty years have
tried in vain to cure it
The best physicians now have the
frankness to admit that the schools
have not yet mastered all there is to
/ know about the causes of disease and
the best methods of cure. There has
been a great advance no doabt in
medical science, in the last fifty
years Doctors themselves do not
take their own physic, even though
they may saturate the systems of
their patients with poisonous drugs
nor do they bleed blister and torture
as formerly
Byron died it is claimed because
of over bleeding by his physicians.
Washington met the same fate!
Scientific investigation shows that
most ailments proceed from derange-
ment of primary organs, of which the
kidneys are the most important.
Every drop of blood coursing through
the system passes through these or
gans, and if they are deranged the
blood speedily becomes impure, and
carries the seeds of disease to every
part of the body. If we keep these
organs regulated by the use of sim.

ces"-there is little danger of bright's

any of the common ailments, nearly
all of which originate in or are made

has the reputation, which seems we'll

Consul Schmidt of 60 Wall street,
New York, from Bright's disease, and
General Christensen, OF Drexel, Nor

AS appropriate to the doctors who
give to their patients what they will
not take themselves, we quote this
story:
"Oh, Mr.. Smith, help me out"
exclaimed lady at church fair.
"Pve sold tidy tor SIS that only
cost sc. What percentage is the

the lawyer with nerriment. "That
transaction is beyond percentage-it
is simple larceny?"
The professional man who takes
ones money when he can do one no
equivalent service will understand
the moral.

The Stock Grower says the facil- ity with which the western promo ters of the Cattle Trust whenever they open their mouths to speak, say nothing by which the public
 can judge of the utility of the plans formulated for the benefit of the producers, is one of the greatest features of mistrust in the value of the combine for the cattle raisers.

The Trust Certificate is daval,., ;,

The Trust Certificate is develop
 ing wonderful putentiality as an
 agent of consolidation and meuop-
 oly. First, the Standard Oil mo-
 nopoly's Trust, the Cotton Oil Trust then the American Cattle Trust, and now the Whiskey Trust. The latter is the latest suggestion as a substitute for the highwine export pool, in which it is proposed to ap- preciate distilling plants, and merge them into combine" at the val nations, by the issue of monopoly's certificates therefor. Not cent of money is used in such consolida- tions, though they involve the trans fer of the tacital control of mill ions of dollars worth of property. They are all merged and consoli- dated alike, and virtually purchases are made of millione of dollars worth of pr'.p .rty by combinations which have no corporate existence and are of intangible legal identity. The trust business, as We take oc- casion to notify our legislative as- semblies, has gone far enough, and, indeed, by so much too far to the extent that it-has any existence at all. There is no agency of consol- idation so effective, so easy, so de- void of risks and so cheap, and the law should put it's ban on the whole system.-Louisyille Courier-Jour- nal,

The Supreme Court has denied
 rehearing in the Maxwell Land Grant case, and the title is. finally settled beyond all question. Justice Miller, in rendering the decision of the Court, did so in the following
 plain and unmistakable language "The court has considered all the points suggested in the petition with the utmost care. The case it. self has been pending in the courts of the United States since August, 1882, and on account of it's impor- tance was advanced out of its order for hearing in this court. The ar- gunents on both sides of the case were unrestricted i'll point of time, and were wanting in no element, of ability, industrious research or clear apprehension of the principles in. volved in 1t. The court was thor oughly impressed with the impot- tance of the case, not only as re- garded the extent of the grant and its value. but also on account of it's involving principles which will be- come precedents in cases of a sin- liar nature now rapidly increasing in number. It was therefore given most careful examination, and this petition for a rehearing has had a similar attentive consideration. The result is that the court is en- tirely satisfied that the grant, as confirmed by the action of congress is valid grant; that the survey and the patent issued upon it, as we'll as the original grant by Armijo, are. entirely free from any fraud on the part of the grantees or those claim ing under them, and that the deci- sion could be no.other than that which the learned judge of the cir. cult court below made and which this court affirmed. The petition
 fer a rehcaring is, therefore, denied

Sturgis, of Wyoming; Routt, of
 Colorado, and Lytle, of Texas, as
 directors, organizers and promoters
 will be worth not a figs value in
 building up the organization with
 western men unless these men are
 ready and willing in the first place
 to show the inside operations of the Trust as regards its organiza- ton. No men are more suspicious of combinations affecting their in- tereSts than the rangemen. They want the broad sunlight turned on all the 'parations of men who pro- less to serve them. They will con- tinue to ask for information con- corning the inside of the Cattle Trust and its organization and, un- less they get it, but little attention will be paid to its demands for their support. NIessrs. Sturgis, Routt and Lytle must state square ly and honestly upon what terms they have hypothecated their prop critics for Trust certificates if they expect others to go and do likewise. Blind pools have had their day and the unsophisticated are no longer caught with that kind of stuff.
